Barner is high quality and stylish eyewear to protect your eyes from harmful Blue Light of digital devices. It will provide you a better sleep and a healthier life.

Now we’re back on Kickstarter, with a new version of Barner that we are convinced you will fall in love with!

Your new Barners won’t just help you sleep better and improve your health; now they come with an evolved Blue light blocking lens for better protection, and a great & colorful design to keep your cool style wherever you go!

Barner Eyewear is the perfect combination between health and style. Screens are part of our daily life now and this is why we think computer glasses should be a no brainer tool to use on a daily basis.

That's the reason why we put lot of effort into creating stylish and comfortable eyewear which at the same time has the best protection for your eyes.

We live totally surrounded by screens, spending almost 9 hours a day, on average, in front of digital devices. All these digital devices are emitting harmful blue light and our eyes are not prepared for the overexposure that we are suffering these days.

Because of that, a new Digital Sickness called Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) is emerging.

Typical image you will see in an office after long hours in front of screens

CVS affects 90% of people spending more than 3 hours per day in front of screens and some of the symptoms are:

Eyestrain, dry eyes, red eyes, eye fatigue

Headaches, neck pain

Double vision, vertigo/dizziness, difficulty refocusing the eyes

Reduction of melatonin production

Change of sleeping cycles (circadian rhythms)

This is why we’ve created Barner, the ultimate computer glasses.

Barner's lenses, have a coating specially developed for people who spend a lot of their time indoors and are exposed to blue-violet light from LEDs as well as smartphone, TV, tablet or computer screens.
As technology evolves, so does our special Blue Light Blocking Lenses.

This new collection’s lenses block 40% of the Blue Light on the harmful spectrum and 100% of the Blue Light at 410nm. You will be protected in any kind situation.

We bring you 2 different models inspired by the coolest neighbourhoods of Paris and London. You have 4 different colours to choose from each model making a total of 8 different designs available on Kickstarter.

We might be unlocking new colors and a new model depending if we reach the stretch goals.

In order to choose the perfect model, we would advise you take some glasses that suit you perfectly, measure them and get the closest in terms of sizing in our available range

Having the "Chamberí" frame design on Kickstarter has been a last minute decision and mainly brought forward because it has been super popular among all backers.

Because of this, for now, the only thing we have to share with you of the Chamberí design is a 3D printed prototype and a photshop edition with all the pantone colours we are going to manufacture (see on the .gifs above).

Unfortunately we won't be able to receive the samples before finishing the campaign, so we won't be able to provide pictures with models wearing them. Apologies about that.

Once you finish working with your laptop, you just need to attach the clip-on to your Barners and transform them into the coolest sunglasses. With this accessory you will now be able to use your Barners in front of the screens but also on the street, relaxing at your favorite beach or breathing some fresh air in the mountains.

Be sure to pledge on any of the rewards with the solar clip-on and you will get this amazing accessory for €20 or less.

We think every product start with its own packaging, this is why we have developed a package with amazing quality, great design and filled with great surprises.

3rd Stretch Goal, Honey color available for all frame designs is unlocked!

Since February 2018 we've working on this new collection of glasses. We visit many different factories to find the best quality materials and worked hard with a great branding agency to create the coolest designs.

Edu has been working in the digital space for many years. He built his first start-up 7 years ago and has also been working in companies like Samsung and Google for the previous 4 years before starting this amazing entrepreneurship adventure.

Ramon founded his first start-up 2 years ago while he was working at Accenture as a Management Consultant. Now he is full time dedicated to Barner together with Edu.

At Barner we deeply believe that every company should be giving back to society. Why? Because if every single company did that, we would live in a much better world.

For this reason we'll donate 1$ from every single pledge to a non-profit organization.

To do that, every backer will be able to choose one of the following 3 non-profit organizations at the final survey to submit his/her donation. Each of the non-profit organization is covering a different topic (health, sustainability & food).

After launching 2 campaigns on Kickstarter, we developed a passion for the platform and crowdfunding. During the last few months, few other creators reached us to ask some advice on their campaign. This is why we've decided to consolidate all the lessons learnt over the last few years and share it on this Kickstarter course.

Barner is our main baby, but we love the feeling of launching a campaign on crowdfunding and help other entrepreneurs. If you want to join us on this great course or have a chat with us, click on the banner below.

This campaign is promoted by Backercamp. Since 2012, Backercamp has helped 5,000+ creators make their projects a reality, raising over $200MM through crowdfunding.

Risks and challenges

The main challenge is probably having arrived here at this point. Writing those words, we feel so close to finishing our Kickstarter content and launching the campaign!

It seems we started yesterday talking about creating the Barner Brand, we have spent so many hours, days and months, travelling, visiting fairs, taking decisions and then changing our minds, and here we are now, convinced we are bringing you the coolest, most protective and the highest quality piece of everyday digital eyewear you can find in the market. This is why we think you should join us in this movement and be part of our family, we want you to become a Barner!
